Anti-semitic abuse unacceptable: Spurs
Print Edition
TOTTENHAM has described as “vile and unacceptable” a video appearing to portray West Ham United fans chanting an anti-Semitic song.
The footage was filmed by a passenger on the London Underground before West Ham’s 2-2 draw with Spurs, who have historic links with the Jewish community, on Sunday.
Police said it is investigating the case and West Ham said it would enfore a “zero tolerance” police and ban any fans found to be involved. The incident follows last week’s racist abuse dished out by Chelsea fans to a black commuter on the Paris metro.
Sunday’s video shows supporters standing in the Tube heading towards Tottenham’s ground chanting “I’ve got foreskin, how about you? F******Jew.”
Tottenham said it hopes those involved are identified and dealt with seriously.
A Spurs spokesman said: “Anti-Semitism in any form is wholly unacceptable and we support all efforts to kick it out of the game.
“We hope that those individuals responsible for this vile behavior are identified and dealt with in the strongest way possible.”
Earlier, a former police officer and Chelsea fan apologized for his involvement in a racist incident involving Blues supporters on a Paris Metro train.
